Reco,nInx Mental D,snentIns.

The present system is but a course Of
mental dissipation, and our children are
fast becoming mental d~yspeptics. They
nibble bits Of twenty kinds Of cake
and take infinitesimal doses Of beef and
potatoes. May be they would not get on
% fast in the curriculum, but the work
Of the world is done by draft horses, who
would cut but a sorry figure on the race
track. This touch and go system must
be abandoned and in lis stead a substan-
tial English education OF reading, writing
and ciphering substituted.-O. s. Cook.

ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT IN THE CASE OF JOHN ".
PARROTT.

The President has committed to five years i'm.
prisonment at hard labor the death sentence OF
John w. PARROT, who was sentenced by the United
States district court OF the western district OF
Arkansas to be hanged for murder on the 18th
January 1887. The President Endorsed the appli-
cation for pardon Us follows:
81 am not quite willing to pardon absolutely this
convict after hts conviction OF murder and after
denial OF a motion for O new trial based substan-
TALLY upon all the papers now before me. am
entirely satisfied that he ought not to suffer the
extreme penalty OF the law, butt do not think that
when he killed the elder McAdams he was 50
driven to the WALL by the attack OF his assaflant
as to clearly excuse the taking OF life / do not
think the convict invited the attack, but In con-
sidering an application for his pardon cannot
overlook the fact that he armed himself and went
to the place where the man was VINO had threat
ened to kill him before night In the belief that
the prisoner should be punished for the part he
took in this homicide, and that he Is guilty OF
crime much less than murder have determined
to commute his sentence to Imprisonment at hard
labor for the term OF nve years"
